 ''Who brought thee last night lovely to my side? ''

Who drew thy warm veil cunningly aside?

''Who snatched thee back again so soon, so soon? ''

Who set this hell-fire burning in my side?

Like a dead man within thine arms I lay, 

Entranced beyond the bounds of night and day—

O cruel breath of the dissevering dawn 

That bids me fly who would for ever stay!
